Who Has The Hammer

 
Eugene Edzorho (b. 1986), Untitled "Governor III" 2017,Rocks from Galamsey sites, Dimension variables





Explosion
                Break asunder
Chipping the pieces to collect

Washed to refine
To pollute the lot
In your bosom Oh nature

We ruin
We no more drink the ancient waters
The waters of our fathers

They stink
And our catch on the surface motionless lay  
 Whose untimely death our actions caused

Fallowed earth
We’ve lost
We’ve ruined

Like rocks though in pieces
Left to hang above
On our waiting heads will stray and fall

We say aloud and paint them around
“Foreigners  foreigners” as if they did them all
Not locals who in turn their living made
And now join the crowd to hoot and shoot
Our own lurks around while they, we soon deport
Say no more if you can’t punish them all
Foreigners foreigners” as if they did them all”
